Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Fall 2014
The purpose of this research is to explore how to optimize the quality of the design of a blended learning experience. This research started as an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design of instructional hypermedia. However, a preliminary review brought out the need to study the larger...

Fall 2012
Researchers in vocal acoustics have used computer simulations of single and multi-mass models of the human vocal folds to study human phonation for over 40 years. They have successfully given insight into different voice qualities and registers as well as the irregular phonation associated with...

Fall 2014
The chemistry of radon is best understood in the context of the periodic relationship between radon and its lighter cousin xenon. I have studied several classes of radon- containing small molecules, many of which are related to extant xenon-containing molecules. These studies began with an...

Theoretical Studies of Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Reactions via the Mixed Quantum-Classical Liouville Approach
DownloadSpring 2016
The nonadiabatic dynamics of model proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions were investigated for the first time using a surface-hopping algorithm based on the solution of the mixed quantum-classical Liouville (MQCL) equation. This method provides a rigorous treatment of quantum...

Theoretical study on reactivity of different sulfide collectors and their binding affinity toward Cu(II), Zn(II) and Pb(II) ions.
DownloadSpring 2016
Collectors are one of the most important ingredients of froth flotation in mineral processing, as they selectively render the desired minerals more hydrophobic than others. Current crop of sulfide collectors interact with almost all sulfide minerals. This necessitates the use of complicated...
